Our verdict on the Gram SE Optical gaming keyboard is more than positive as the company managed to create a very solid, almost perfect high-quality product. We definitely like the fact that this a heavy keyboard, with an attractive but not over-the-top design, which would have been typical for gaming peripherals. Thanks to the sleek looks and low-profile design this keyboard is also suitable for office use. The backlight is clear, precise and since you can change its intensity it's never too bright. Writring on this product is very nice, due to the new Tesoro optical switches.

Apart from that the it's very comfortable to use, the keys are well placed and they're also easy to reach. The comfort of a keyboard is always a very subjective matter, but despite that there isn't a big palm rest in the delivery we believe that the comfort is still on a good level, which is due to the low profile design. The key travel is precise and linear, the response is always immediate and simply perfect.
